Just get the rice bowl , I work there and it's the best tasting for how much you pay. Short on cash? Get the pizza , not the best but does the trick if you have to eat in the building

Karen Hammond

A great place to drink wine and watch people. Good food and excellent service surrounded by art -- ahhhhh

Ana Luisa Aldana

The steamed buns at the Academy cafe rock and totally pwn anything you have ever had - all three of them! (bbq pork , chicken and the veggie one). Have two for lunch and your are set!! Read more

Brandon Nuckelt

Some pretty solid food options that are only slightly more expensive than what you can find outside of Golden Gate Park .

Dinah Nicolas

Considering the price, the food is pretty expensive . Overall the quality of the food is excellent for a busy place and price!

Conner Hobson

Eat before you come to the museum because this place is incredibly overpriced. A pre-made sandwich warmed up in a sandwich iron or packaged sushi should not be sold for $15.

Eric Mar

Table by window allows us to be sandwiched Btwn the living wall, huge fish tank and the courtyard ! The heaters are on outside but not very warm.

William Archer

Get any of the buns and shrimp pork roll . Split with lover. Enjoy.

Alan Martinez

Membership benefits DOES NOT include a discount in the cafe 's and the prices are high so plan ahead if you want to save on dining costs with a family of 3 or more...

Diana Arboleda

Kind of expensive , but the portions are big and the food is delicious.

Ben Mackey

Don’t bother with the chicken poboy . The bacon cheeseburger is the better option.

Oscar E. Jurado

Although organic , food is very much overpriced, whatever you do, don't order the hamburger , it's very dry and precooked. Pizza is somewhat ok, tough. Also sandwiches .

Joe Lewis

Lots of gluten free options indicated on the menu.

Sheila Brown

FYI: The Mac & Cheese is $6.

Mad Gadabout

Beer is available!

Norbert Hu

Won't go wrong with the succulent chicken gumbo !

Ryan Wyatt

Vietnamese Chicken Pho ! Yum! Particularly on a cool, drizzly day…

CC Williams

Kendal Cockrel

Pretty decent for museum food. Burger was good but nothing to write home about.

Helen Kim

Edwin Goei

Excellent vegan tofu curry w/ veggies

Stacey W

Good bit way overpriced! Bring some food in and eat outside.

Ruddha CA

Yummy...and nutritious.

Daniel Lyu

Don't get the grab and go. Overpriced and not filling.
